We offer diverse performances featuring music composed around the world, from 1700 to the present day. Our group also loves incorporating other mediums into our performances, such as vocals (The Fisherman and His Wife & 12 Windows) and puppetry and theatrics in our production of Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf. Our biggest performance of the year is THEY’RE ALIVE!, a series that features innovative works by living composers.
